🏃🏻♀️I’m in desperate need of a challenge: To turn my occasional lap of the park back into regular running! And there’s nothing like a looming race to keep me going… 10k is nothing to some of you runners out there, but for me - it’s been a while!
🙏 Keeping me going through the achey legs and soggy weather is the thought of raising money for this great local charity. Read more below, but I’ve known so many families caught in a long slow system, waiting for help for their children struggling with undiagnosed but challenging additional needs. The support Growing Hope offer to local families is really beautiful in action and I’ve been so impressed with all I’ve seen and heard. If you can afford a small donation I know it would make a massive difference to this centre in SE London. ❤️
➡️ Growing Hope offers free therapy for children and young people with additional needs in partnership with local churches across the UK. Growing Hope Brockley serves Lewisham and Southwark. They bring hope to children through free therapy services. They grow hope for families where hope has been lost due to isolation or rejection. They share hope in Jesus because he brings hope even in the most difficult situations.
Growing Hope provides a range of therapies including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and music therapy to help children and young people reach their potential. They also provide support for parents, carers and siblings through groups and courses.
Research suggests that families aren’t getting the support they need on the NHS as services are currently stretched. Growing Hope aims to bridge the gap by providing support for families who are desperate for help. Each clinic costs £50,000 to run a year and they are entirely dependent on donations and grants. Please give what you can to help transform the lives of children with additional needs and their families.
